Hello dear Community,
short and sweet: I want to export a picture with the font Adorn Garland. Unfortunately the font is extremely pixelated. What can I do?
I used the current Lightroom Classic version.

See the Screenshot

    Yes, I have encountered the same problem- Some fonts just do not work in Lightroom!

    If a font is not available (or does not work) with Lightroom- Use Photoshop to create a Graphic using the FONT on a 'Text' layer. The inability to see the OpenType fonts on Windows is a known limitation.

    Save the document as a PNG type file to preserve any transparency (the watermark will allow 'see-through' blank areas over the image below.) Use the Graphic PNG image in the Watermark Editor of Lr.

    Okay, thank you so much for your great answer. I already had the same idea. Thought there might be another way to use the fonts.

    I found my Oct2018 post on this problem-  Still no resolution from Adobe re: Fonts. So we only have the PNG image work-around for the problematic ones (often 'Script' fonts).
